Abstract

Malignant melanoma is a melanocytic tumor with a high potential of invasion and metastasis. Curcumin is extracted from Curcuma longa L.; curcumin has anti-tumor efficacy in multiple systemic malignancies. Here, we investigated the effect of curcumin on A375 human melanoma cells. A375 cells were cultivated, passaged, and treated with different concentrations of curcumin. We observed the cellular morphology and determined the migration, invasion, proliferation, and apoptosis of A375 cells in vitro. Our results showed that curcumin induced a significant change in the morphology of A375 cells. Compared to the control group, the groups treated with curcumin showed significantly wider scratches, and the number of A375 cells significantly decreased in the 12.5, 25, and 50 mM curcumin groups (P < 0.05 or < 0.01). The rates of proliferation inhibition in the 5 curcumin groups were 19.38 ± 3.57%, 35.56 ± 4.37%, 63.98 ± 5.95%, 86.38 ± 3.91%, and 95.56 ± 3.15%. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration of curcumin at 48 h was 10.05 mM. The rates of apoptosis in 6.25 and 12.5 mM curcumin groups were significantly higher (P < 0.05), phosphorylation levels of JAK-2 and STAT-3 in 10 and 20 mM curcumin groups were significantly lower (P < 0.05)...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

Cell Migration in Cancer and Metastasis

Migration of cancer cells into surrounding tissue and the vasculature is an initial step in tumor metastasis. Discover the latest research on cell migration in cancer and metastasis here.
